Consequences for you, your organisation and the international community?

Switzerland narrowly voted in February to limit mass immigration in a referendum initiated by the Swiss Peoples' Party. The implications for Swiss-based international organisations and business are still unclear.

The vote appears to contradict more than 50 existing treaties, including many that Switzerland has signed with international organisations, as outlined in a Policy Brief from the Graduate Institute's Global Migration Centre.

•  What will the vote mean for international organisations and business in Switzerland?
•  How will this affect Switzerland's bilateral and multilateral relations with Europe and the rest of the world?
•  How will it affect Swiss research, education and the economy?
•  How secure are the jobs, property and family life of foreigners already living in Switzerland?
